It has been a slow Celebrity DUI news week, so the definition of “celebrity” today is very, very loose.
Please leave a comment and let me know if you:
1) would have recognized Walter Jones sitting next to you on a bus;
2) would have answered “Walter Jones” if asked the name of the original black Power Ranger;
3) would have known who Walter Jones was if asked in a trivia quiz.
Okay. The guy’s not really a celebrity. So what. It’s a very, very slow Celebrity DUI new week.
Huntsville, AL
Remember the show Mighty Morphin Power Rangers? It was the popular kids’ show with the action characters who fought the bad guys. Now, a former power ranger is finding himself in trouble with the law right here in Huntsville.
The power rangers were color coded. They morphed from ordinary people into super heroes. The original black power ranger, Walter Jones, was arrested in Huntsville over the weekend for DUI.
WHNT NEWS 19 has confirmed actor Jones was arrested and charged with driving under the influence. The 38-year-old played the character of Zack Taylor on the hit television show Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Jones was in the area for a convention in Decatur over the weekend. WHNT NEWS 19 was told he met with fans and signed autographs. News of the former power ranger’s arrest is making headlines. Several big web sites have picked up the story.
